A Long Way Up the River.

The following is from the Baker
City Democrat, which declares that
it is as "true as gospel" A few days
since James Holcomb. proprietor OF
Sturgill bar on Snake river, was rid
ing along the bank of the river, when
he saw q large sturgeon lying in two
and half or three feet of water, ap-
parently asleep. The fsh's head
would bob up and the tail down, then
the tail would up and the head down.
Jim looked long time at the fish,
and finally the thought struck him
that he wanted that fish, but the
only thing he had to kill or capture
it with was q lasso and plenty of
rocks. So he took his rope and
walked quietly into the water and up
behind his fshship and dropped the
rope over his tail He did not dare
tighten on the rope until he had dis
sbled the fish; so he took up a large
rock and when the head came up he
let the stone 60; and he made splen-
did shot and hit it square on the
head and stunned the fish. Then he
drew the fish to the bank. tied it to q
tree and finished it with a pocket
knife. The fish was nine feet seven
inches long and weighed over 500
pounds.

The Chinese hereabouts are appre-
hensive that all the Chinese mining
camps on Snake river have been
wiped ont, says the Idaho Free Press.
They say there are fifty or sixty Chi
nese mining ON the Oregon side oi
Snake river about forty miles above
Lewiston, and from the mutilsted re-
mains of Cinnamon that have hosted
down they expect that either Indians
or whites have raided the camp and
killed off the entire bunch. The Chi
nese in Lewiston are strongly exer-
cised over the matter and have sent
up four scouts to look around, and
are also corresponding with the Chi
nese Minister at Washington to in
vestigste the matter.

Mrs. Holt was a lovely girl, a devoted
and dutiful daughter, and an ailectionate
sister As wife she had been all that
her young husbands fondest heart could
dream or wish. She enjoyed the esteem
and love Of a wide circle of friends, whose
hearts will 90 out TO the mother and hus-

THE OLD STREET CARS.
How II Has Branched out Some of the
Old Drivers length of the Lines.

The recent extension of the City rail
way to Reservoir Lake, Hollywood, and
Fulton recalls the days when il only ran
up to the old Spottswood
Eighth and Main streets was for some
time the Western terminus. After this 1t
was extended up to Brook avenue and
Broad.
This, by the way, was the starting point
for the first line of street umnibuses that
ever ran in Richmond The Eastern ter
minus was about Main and Twenty-fifth
streets.
The City Railway, after stopping at
Brook avenue and Broad for awhile,
finally ran up to Elba station, and thence
out Laurel and Reservoir streets There
was also at one time line 10 Rocket :
bridge.
But at this time Richmond has the best
car service it has ever had With the
completion Of the Union Passenger Line
there will be little to ask for A person
can ride almost over any part of Rich
mOnd
Among some of the oldest drivers in
the service Of the City Railway Company
are William II. Farmer, who has been on
nearly twenty years W. {. Rhodes John
Butler, w. f. Peters, and James Sutli1.
Thomas Williams, who now acts as
transfer agent at Main and Laurel streets,
is also an old stager lie handled the
rens for many years until his health
became bad
Among other drivers who have been on
some time are Gallagher Powell, Whar-
ton. Allen, Toler, Jennings, Meyer and
others, but the first named are veterans.
The car service has greatly improved
since the days when You could only ride
from Libby Hill to the Spoltswood Now
YOU can ride from Fulton llill TO New
Reservoir Lake The distance being
about scyenty-siX squares by the Main
street line, and eight more by The Broad
street line
From Broad to Main at Ninth street is
only three squares down Ninth street, but
the two streets are wider apart az Laurel
street and the distance is greater. The
Hollywood extension is five squares long
The distance covered by the different
lines makes the fare as low as ON any
road in the United States, being much
less than one cent per mile.
While ON the subicci we will say that
the Fulton end was well palroniled yes
terday, the travel ont to Hollywood
large and that to Rcseryoi Lake inn.

This highly original question was asked

II Is coniectured, however, that the

and that after this there will be a refresh

nately most of the time there has been a
slight breeze or the weather would have
been intolcrable Despite the great heat
there has been but few casualties 40
cases of sunstrokc and no fatality that
could be traced 10 the summer season.
